Discoloration
or cracks in a chemically resistant glove aren't just imperfections.
They're probably signs that they need to be replaced.
Watch
out for soft spots, swelling, staining or color changes on
the surface of chemically resistant gloves worn for work with
pesticides. These signs show the glove material is no longer
protecting you.
Maybe
your gloves won't last the season, but it's better to replace
them than risk pesticide exposure.
